3 Introduction In Avaya digital environments, SpeechAttendant ports can be programmed as ACD agents (as opposed to a hunt group). This allows the customer to benefit from the advantages of speech-recognition and automatic call distribution, even if SpeechAttendant is not actually installed in a call center. This document contains indications on how to integrate SpeechAttendant in an Avaya ACD queue with expert agent selection (EAS) enabled 1. It assumes that you are familiar with programming an Avaya Definity PBX. Refer to the Avaya documentation for more information. Global procedure Integrating SpeechAttendant in an Avaya ACD environment involves the following steps: In the PBX In the SpeechAttendant configuration panel 1 Creating a hunt group (see below) 2 Programming agents (see page 4) 3 Programming stations (see page 4) 4 Programming a call vector (see page 5) 5 Programming a vector directory number (see page 5) 6 Configuring the settings related to automatic call distribution (see page 5) Creating a hunt group You must create a hunt group for SpeechAttendant. To do so: 1 In the ACD, Queue, and Vector fields, type y. 2 In the Group type field, type ead-mia. 3 In the Skill field, type y. 4 Set Timed ACW interval to 1 second. 5 Set Redirect on no answer to 2 rings, and enter the appropriate destination in the Redirect to VDN field (for example, the operator extension). 1. SpeechAttendant is compatible with 2-wire Avaya line cards. Integration with 4-wire line cards has not been tested. Integrating SpeechAttendant in an Avaya ACD Queue 3

4 Programming agents You must program an agent for each port dedicated to SpeechAttendant. To do so: 1 Specify the agent name and login ID (to keep things simple, enter the same number for both). 2 In the TN field, type 1 as the tenant number. 3 In the COR field, type 1 as the class of restriction. 4 Enter the agent password twice (to keep things simple, use the same number as the agent s name and login ID). 5 In the Auto Answer field, type none. 6 In the SN field, type the hunt group number. In the SL field, type 1 as the skill level. Programming stations Each port assigned to SpeechAttendant must be programmed as Model 8434D stations, with default settings. You must then program each station buttons as indicated below: Button Assignment Additional data 6 auto-in N/A (Ignore Grp) aux-work N/A (Ignore RC and Grp) 8 autodial Enter the ACD logout feature access code. 9 autodial Enter the ACD login feature access code.

5 Programming a call vector Program a vector as indicated below: Line Command Additional data 01 wait-time 0 seconds hearing ringback 02 queue-to Skill SN pri m Where SN should be replaced with the actual hunt group number. 03 stop If desired, you can configure a vector for each SpeechAttendant entry point. This allows you for more flexibility in call routing on no answer and best service routing (BSR). For example, you could program different call destinations on no answer condition. Programming a vector directory number (VDN) You must now program a VDN to point to the previously programmed call vector. If you programmed several call vectors for several entry points, you must also program several VDNs. To allow for proper DNIS capture, the VDN name must include the VDN number as a prefix (e.g., 24500SpeechAttendant). In the Measured field, type internal. This allows you to keep track of calls to the VDN using the basic call management system. Setting ACD parameters in the configuration panel Once you have programmed the ports, you must configure ACD settings in the configuration panel (about other configuration settings). 1 Access level 2 of the SpeechAttendant configuration panel. 2 Set ACD Enabled to Yes. 3 Set the Agent ID - Port x settings for each port by entering the login ID and password of the corresponding agent (without spaces).

6 The following settings also pertain to ACD queues, but don t need to be adjusted now: Agent Logged Out contains the character string that appears on the phone display when an agent is logged out. Required Action When Port Idle is accessible from level 1 or 2. It can be used to log out idle ports so that the application can be stopped in an orderly fashion. It also enables the systematic logging in of ports to restart the application or ensure continuous service. Possible values are: Logout, for idle ports to be logged out within the next 100 seconds, and busy ports to be logged out as soon as ongoing calls end. When all the ports are logged out, you can stop the telephony application (from the Admin Tools window) without interrupting calls. Login, to enable the systematic logging in of ports that the PBX may have logged out, or for the system to log in ports that were logged out to stop the system (ports will be logged in within the next 100 seconds). The Nortel-M1 Agent ID Mode parameter is not relevant for Avaya ACD. Integrating SpeechAttendant in an Avaya ACD Queue 6
